QuoteIn any case, whether it is an error or a preservation of the original usage, the term "duct tape" is used for the product today.[19] Duck Tape is also a brand name for this product in some countries.

QuoteIn military circles, this variant is known as "gun tape", typically olive-green, and is also known for its resistance to oils and greases.[citation needed] It is also called "duck tape", "riggers' tape", "hurricane tape", or "100-mph tape"[1][2]—a name that comes from the use of a specific variety of duct tape that was supposed to hold up to 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) winds. The tape is named so because it was used during the Vietnam War to repair helicopter rotor blades, thus earning the name 100-MPH tape.[3]

QuoteThe origin of the name of the product, "duck tape" or "duct tape", is the subject of some disagreement.

One view[who?] is that it was called "duck tape" by WWII soldiers either because it resembled strips of cotton duck or because the waterproof quality of the tape contributed to the name, by analogy to the water-shedding quality of a duck's plumage. Under this view, soldiers returning home from the war found uses for duck tape around the house where ductwork needed sealing. Other proponents of this view point to older references to non-adhesive cotton duck tape used in Venetian blinds, suggesting that the name was carried over to the adhesive product. The Oxford English Dictionary says that perhaps "duct tape" was originally "duck tape". This view is summarized most notably in a New York Times article by etymologist William Safire in March 2003. Safire cites use of the term "cotton duck tape" in a 1945 advertisement for surplus government property.[17] The Brooklyn Daily Eagle uses the term "duck" in 1902 quotation for "100,000 yards of cotton duck tape" being used to protect the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge.[18] Thus a fabric duck tape was available to which an adhesive could have been added.
